I was in a weight control forum on Compuserve about a year ago. One of
our famous "debates" was of the Cabbage Soup Dieters and the Low Carbers
who smelled worse. The low carbers always seemed to do better in the
debate since our ketosis breath doesn't seem to spread out quite so well

some of their smellier contributions to the atmosphere.
